Sarawak Report has had its attention drawn to an inaccuracy regarding its reporting of the Chief Minister, Abdul Taib Mahmud’s, official salary. For this we apologise, as we have attempted, despite a conspicuous lack of public information, to stick to accurate and objective reporting

But Sarawak Report did not waste time and soon, was firing this:-

This all totals a very attractive MYR 49,000 per month, the sort of salary that any Chief of State would be pleased to receive.

However, Sarawak Report remains baffled as to how such a salary could begin to support the hundreds of millions of dollars worth of property across the globe, which we have unveiled as belonging to his family in recent reports.
